But yeah, it looks way too effeminate. "I'm digging the silhouette", if that's a real compliment.

But I thought men were nothing but miserable little piles of secrets?

But unfortunately, I am aware of the not-XBox360 Manga Carta game (and that dude isn't nearly the biggest fashion atrocity that game commits). Besides, that dude's wearing pants (of some kind), unlike the silhouette which is most likely wearing thigh-high stockings like every other JRPG female in the last decade.

As ridiculous a reason as it is that makes me lament even more that we won't see it for a very long time if ever, not unless XSEED somehow funds a sweatshop to belt this out (and they somehow do a decent job.)

(Although, I mostly wanted to post this to point out Siliconera's error in their theory about console exclusive characters.)

As seen on the official website, the mysterious new character appears on the cover of the PlayStation 3 version of the game, while she seems to have been omitted in the cover of the PlayStation Vitaâ€™s version, meaning she could be a console exclusive. Japanese magazine leaks report that more info regarding the character will be revealed as early as this week.

The game is out in Japan, and it's being completely brutalized in the reviews on Amazon.co.jp. Lot's of 1 star ratings. People still like the story and characters, but apparently it suffers from absolutely horrible load time issues. In addition the 3D character models are animated extremely awkwardly, worse than fan-made stuff you find on the internet. Falcom did not handle the transition to 3D well at all. These are the lowest review scores I've ever seen for a Kiseki game...

So maybe that will make you feel better about the fact that we'll never get it.
